Journal Article
Rajasekar, P., Hall, R. J., Binaya, K., Mahapatra, P. S., Puppala, S. P., Thakker, D., …Clifford, R. L. (2023). Nepalese indoor cookstove smoke extracts alter human airway epithelial gene expression, DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation. Environmental Pollution, 337, Article 122561. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2023.122561

Household air pollution caused by inefficient cooking practices causes 4 million deaths a year worldwide. In Nepal, 86% of the rural population use solid fuels for cooking. Over 25% of premature deaths associated with air pollution are respiratory in...

Human model of primary carnitine deficiency cardiomyopathy reveals ferroptosis as a novel mechanism (2023)
Journal Article
Loos, M., Klampe, B., Schulze, T., Yin, X., Theofilatos, K., Ulmer, B. M., …Hansen, A. (2023). Human model of primary carnitine deficiency cardiomyopathy reveals ferroptosis as a novel mechanism. Stem Cell Reports, 18(11), 2123-2137. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.stemcr.2023.09.002

Primary carnitine deficiency (PCD) is an autosomal recessive monogenic disorder caused by mutations in SLC22A5. This gene encodes for OCTN2, which transports the essential metabolite carnitine into the cell. PCD patients suffer from muscular weakness...

Outcomes after emergency appendicectomy in patients with liver cirrhosis: a population-based cohort study from England (2023)
Journal Article
Adiamah, A., Rashid, A., Crooks, C. J., Hammond, J. S., Jepsen, P., West, J., & Humes, D. J. (2023). Outcomes after emergency appendicectomy in patients with liver cirrhosis: a population-based cohort study from England. Langenbeck's Archives of Surgery, 408, Article 362. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00423-023-03072-3

Introduction
The mortality risk after appendicectomy in patients with liver cirrhosis is predicted to be higher than in the general population given the associated risk of perioperative bleeding, infections and liver decompensation. This population-... Read More about Outcomes after emergency appendicectomy in patients with liver cirrhosis: a population-based cohort study from England.

Wireless electrical–molecular quantum signalling for cancer cell apoptosis (2023)
Journal Article
Jain, A., Gosling, J., Liu, S., Wang, H., Stone, E. M., Chakraborty, S., …Rawson, F. J. (2024). Wireless electrical–molecular quantum signalling for cancer cell apoptosis. Nature Nanotechnology, 19, 106-114. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41565-023-01496-y

Quantum biological tunnelling for electron transfer is involved in controlling essential functions for life such as cellular respiration and homoeostasis. Understanding and controlling the quantum effects in biology has the potential to modulate biol... Read More about Wireless electrical–molecular quantum signalling for cancer cell apoptosis.

Study design for development of novel safety biomarkers of drug-induced liver injury by the translational safety biomarker pipeline (TransBioLine) consortium: a study protocol for a nested case–control study (2023)
Journal Article
Grove, J. I., Stephens, C., Lucena, M. I., Andrade, R. J., Weber, S., Gerbes, A., …on behalf of the TransBioLine consortium. (2023). Study design for development of novel safety biomarkers of drug-induced liver injury by the translational safety biomarker pipeline (TransBioLine) consortium: a study protocol for a nested case–control study. Diagnostic and Prognostic Research, 7, Article 18. https://doi.org/10.1186/s41512-023-00155-z

A lack of biomarkers that detect drug-induced liver injury (DILI) accurately continues to hinder early- and late-stage drug development and remains a challenge in clinical practice. The Innovative Medicines Initiative’s TransBioLine consortium compri...

World Journal of Surgery, 47(11), 2724-2732. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00268-023-07170-7

Background: Evidence suggests that physical fitness interventions, mental health support and nutritional advice before surgery (prehabilitation) could reduce hospital stay and improve quality of life of patients with cancer. In this study we captured... Read More about Post-Cancer Treatment Reflections by Patients Concerning the Provisions and Support Required for a Prehabilitation Programme.
